Slipknot book Korn, Limp Bizkit for Knotfest Japan

Masked metal stars Slipknot are taking Knotfest to Japan this year, and they're bringing Korn and Limp Bizkit along with them. Both acts are booked to join the hosts as headliners at the event, which is scheduled to take place in Tokyo on November 15th and 16th.

The inaugural Knotfest took place in the U.S. in 2012 with performances from Deftones, Lamb of God, Machine Head, and more.

As for this year's lineup, Slipknot member Shawn "Clown" Crahan says there will be a good number of Japanese bands. More details are available at KnotfestJapan.com.
